Volkswagen Driver Assistance

Driver Assistance Features

Front Assist

The available Forward Collision Warning system (included in Front Assist) has sensors in the front to help monitor traffic and can alert you to a potential collision. If a collision is imminent, Autonomous Emergency Braking (included in Front Assist) can help brake the car.

Blind Spot Monitor

The sensors on the available Blind Spot Monitor feature are able to sense what you might miss. When driving, if you attempt to change lanes, the Blind Spot Monitor can help alert you to other cars that may be in your blind spot.

Lane Assist

When moving, the available Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist) can sense if you start to drift into another lane without using the turn signal. On most models, Lane Assist will help steer to help keep you in the correct lane.

Park Assist

The available Parking Steering Assistant (Park Assist) can judge if a parking spot is big enough for your Volkswagen. Then it will help steer the vehicle into the space. You operate the accelerator, brake, and shifter; it does the rest.

Adaptive Cruise Control

The available Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps maintain a preset distance from the car in front of you. If the car in front of you speeds up or slows down, the sensors detect the change and your car follows suit.

Park Pilot

The available Park Distance Control (Park Pilot) has sensors that can help you back out of or drive into a parking spot. Audible signals and the optical parking system on the display indicate how much space you have behind and, on some vehicles, in front of the vehicle when parking. If you get too close, an alert sounds as a warning. The display provides additional support for the driver by showing the position of obstacles.

Area View

The available Area View camera system uses multiple cameras to help give you a better view on all sides.

This feature available on: Atlas.

Light Assist

Available High Beam Control (Light Assist) helps provide better visibility on dark roads by turning on your high beams at speeds around 37 mph. A camera mounted at the base of the rearview mirror turns your high beams on when conditions warrant it, then turns them off again if another car approaches or drives in front of you.

This feature available on: Atlas.
